Prediction

The Padres are sending right-hander Michael King (7-6, 3.41 ERA) to the mound in this contest. He will be looking for a strong outing to start his second half following an up-and-down first half. Cleveland is countering with starter Ben Lively (8-5, 3.58 ERA) to see if they can defend home field.

The Padres offense woke up yesterday behind a strong showing from Dylan Cease. The bats will be decent today but San Diego will fall short of winning the series.

Guardians 6, Padres 5
